“Italian opposition party leader Maurizio Gasparri of Forza Italia called the influx an ‘invasion.’” Yes. See my comments below. “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) “Pope Seeks ‘Pathways’ for Muslim ‘Invasion,’” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, June 18, 2020: ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) […]
Pope calls for “establishment of pathways” for hundreds of thousands of Muslim migrants to settle in Europe
Muslim migrants should be seeking ways to settle in Islamic countries, not Europe. “Since the 2011 revolution, the Salafist current has been expanding across Libya, taking over mosques, opening schools and establishing media outlets.” These issues have no place in the EU. In the words of the Dalai Lama: With too many Muslim migrants, “the […]
Ex-Muslims expose Muslim-Catholic dialogue as deceptive exercise in proselytizing for Islam
“The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] is great, and a bridge is not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with each other, but only so that the people of Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam.” — Sayyid Qutb, Milestones, chapter 10. (Mother […]
Palestine Liberation Organization asks Vatican for help over possible West Bank annexation by Israel
The PLO went to the right place for sympathy: “In January 2017, Pope Francis received Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the Vatican for a formal inauguration of the first Embassy of the State of Palestine to the Holy See.

Pope Francis, Not Content to Falsely Accuse Christians of Fictional Atrocity, Celebrates Jihadis’ Favorite Holiday
My latest at PJ Media: The Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue on Friday informed its “dear Muslim brothers and sisters” that the month of Ramadan is “a time for spiritual healing and growth, of sharing with the poor, of strengthening bonds with relatives and friends,” as well as an opportunity for “your Christian friends” […]
Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue urges Catholics to participate in Ramadan iftars
More dialogue follies. I explain why this is so foolish and wrongheaded below. “Vatican Urges Catholics to Share Ramadan,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, May 2, 2020: VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) – The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue is encouraging Christians to join in the Islamic iftar ‘ritual’ meal on the occasion of the Muslim festival of Ramadan. […]
Vatican extends “hearty congratulations” to all Muslims for a “fruitful month of Ramadan”
“The Vatican’s office for interreligious dialogue released a message to the world’s Muslims Friday, extending fervent best wishes for a ‘fruitful month of Ramadan.’” Fervent is the key word here. A simple well wishing to Muslims, since there are those Muslims who choose not to follow the call to violent jihad, would have sufficed. There […]
Pope calls for sanctions relief for the Islamic Republic of Iran after receiving a request from an ayatollah
The Pope has decided to do Iran’s bidding, after Ayatollah Mostafa Mohaghegh Damad “wrote to Pope Francis in mid-March appealing to him help end U.S. sanctions on Iran.” In response, “Pope Francis called for relaxed international sanctions during his Easter message.” Yet more money flowing into Iran means more murder, more threats to the region, […]

Pope Francis Continues to Avoid That Elephant in the Room
Pope Francis recently condemned antisemitism twice in the strongest possible terms. He did so first in departing from prepared remarks at one of his weekly Papal audiences in Rome.
